If I could write to the kid I was beforeI'd tell him you'd get everything you ever wantedBut you will still want moreSomeone's gonna tell you Who you should wanna beSo you forget the vision that they didn't want to see And when they give up, 'cause they will give up say "Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up you just grow oldIt's safe to say I haven't done bothI made mistakes, I know, I know But here I am aliveSo many people close to me cut me downThis is supposed to be a bad luck town I jumped, I fell, I hit the groundBut here I am alive

If I could write to myself when I was on top of it all, I'd say you're going overboard and when you are falling You're gonna feel so smallSomeone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst They'd say you're never coming back and tell you that you're cursed But when they give up, 'cause they always give up say-"Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up you just grow oldIt's safe to say I haven't done bothI made mistakes, I know, I know But here I am aliveSo many people close to me cut me downThis is supposed to be a bad luck town I jumped, I fell, I hit the groundBut here I am alive

And when they give up, 'cause they will give up Say: "Here I am alive!!"And when they give up, 'cause they always give up Say: "Here I am alive!!"

They say you don't grow up you just grow oldIt's safe to say I haven't done bothI made mistakes, I know, I know But here I am aliveSo many people close to me cut me downThis is supposed to be a bad luck town I jumped, I fell, I hit the groundBut here I am alive

Here I am alive(Here I am alive)Here I am alive(Here I am alive)Here I am alive (Here I am alive)Here I am alive (Here I am)
